    Here's an idea: Put the new trail cam under a pre-fab outdoor shed, which has been propped up on one side with a shortened broom handle, and a string tied from the handle to the cam. The thief wants the camera, goes in and pulls on it (thieves aren't too smart), which drops the shed, trapping him inside. The next morning, one punch should be enough to subdue him (thieves are wussies), then 'give him a little flip' onto the beaver dam, and see what comes along!

    Hey Shawn I'm a big fan from Canada! I remember when you used to show the full graphic videos. However, I totally understand your reasoning. TH-cam is very sensitive and I would hate to see your channel gets deleted. Ignore the very few people who complain 😅

      TH-cam was demonetizing or removing some of his videos which is why he has to be more selective on his camera shots.

    I don't need a rat trap (thank God!) but I do like the design of the box...is it possible to get the dimensions, materials, etc. so that I could make boxes like that for collectible items? Thanks! And it's great that your family is doing so well - a trip (including birthday party) to Maui would make anybody's day - any chance a subscriber could tag along next time, LOL?

    I have watched your vedios forever and noticed that the rats seem to shy away from the traps on a regular basis. This got me to thinking that maby they smell your human scent on the traps and many you could take 2 boards, 1 handeled with gloves and the other with out and put bait on them to see if that is the reason they shy away. Just trying to help you get some befor they damage your barn. May even need to descent new ones with alchohol befor using.
    Good luck

    IDEA: There were many rats around that box when it dropped. Perhaps the box could be large enough to catch them all, perhaps with a two-stage tripping mechanism. Maybe when it drops, a batch of carbon dioxide fills the box, killing them all humanely and without poisoning predators. Perhaps baking soda and vinegar to produce the carbon dioxide.

    when working with rats you need to keep your human scent off the traps. the rats are extremely cautious with thinks that don't smell right.
    you can see in your video the rats were cautious around parts with human stink

  • @annereilley4892
    @annereilley4892 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I don't get why you are punished for showing killing rodents, when there is a channel of a person who uses minks and dogs to kill rats. He shows his animals hunting and killing the rats. He even skins a muskrat and shows it after in one video, nothing is hidden.

    using traps are better than using rat poison, if other animal got to eat the poisoned rat they would be poisoned as well, worse they might die.

    have you tried to find any manufacturer that still uses mole fur for those moles that you’ve caught? Cause I’ve heard that there is or was a man in Alaska that bought dead porcupines for all sorts of uses such as quills for jewelry.

    Hi Shawn,
    Another great video, THANKS! For the last few years I've been using tootsie rolls as mouse bait in all our traps. They Love the stuff, and can't lick it off. I wonder if you've ever tried it, and have you had good results with it where you are?
    Thanks again!

    Hi Shaun, great video and good to see you had a relaxing holiday. One of my favourite videos of yours was the glass bowl with peanut oil, where I think you caught 8 mice. I’ve always wondered, if you had a large enough glass bowl, would the same trick work for rats?

    One minor downside to this specific implementation is that if you catch live rodents, it'll be difficult to control their exit. This same principle could be used with a wire mesh box that one could simply submerge under water.

  • @souIsynapse
    @souIsynapse 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    One thing I always wonder with your videos is wouldn't the effectiveness of the traps you test be highly affected by what season it is? For example, younger, less experienced mice in the spring.

    • @annebruecks7381
      @annebruecks7381 ปีที่แล้ว

      They have babies all year tho, not just in spring. There are probably mice and rats of all ages, all the time unfortunately. That's one of the reasons they are so successful.

  • @richardbinell2053

  • @jamesh5460
    @jamesh5460 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Okay... This might sound kind of gruesome but I have made some modifications to my standard rat traps that I use around my property. The rats and rock squirrels are enormous and sometimes get hit and only injured, not caught. I have resorted to putting nails (sharp tacks) all the way through (4-6 of them) the wooden trap at an angle just inside the kill bar. Seems to work VERY effectively as I have yet to find a sprung trap without a pest in it.
